"This photo of family and friends of the neighborhood is from the mid-50s. First a little history ... My mother, Rosa Ippolito, of 909 Fawn Street married POW Giovanni Ribero, who was best friends with Lelio Tomasina, Bruno Brotto and Sergio Brotto. Lelio and Bruno were also POWs at Camp Meade. This is how my father met these lifelong friends. After the war, my mother married Giovanni and when they returned from Italy, they moved to Fawn Street until they purchased property and built a house in the county [photo taken in basement of that house]. This picture is a classic of my childhood, as we used to say ... the Sunday morning services. These were true friends that will never be apart."
